THERE'S SOME IDIOTS ABOUT
Ok so im
going to say a few short words here , im not having a rant or
anything im just really curious , as you may be aware I do a few
videos now and again on youtube , you know just sharing the knowledge
or for any kind of gain or reward , i just love to do what I do to
share the knowledge and help people who are maybe new to the sport to
tie a few flies and catch fish and that’s it , I don’t claim and
never have claimed to be the next dogs bollox fly tier in fact in the
past ive turned down some great offers from larger company’s to do
ranges for them not what im about people despite what brainless
idiots say behind closed forums
so what
gets me is when somebody presses the dislike button on youtube to one
of my videos OK if there’s an aspect on there you don’t like then
by all means leave a message or ask a question simple as that , this
way it helps me to help others by sorting any issues out with the
videos I mean lets face it I haven’t got multi angel cameras or
directors or editing suites I just sit there with a digital camera
that allows me to record around 15 mins of footage at a time and up
load it , so if you come across my videos and there's something you
don’t like please leave a message and ill do my best to look at any
issues , don’t just press the dislike button , funnily enough there
was a few dislikes on my videos on one particular not so long ago and
I managed to trace the area where they came from mmmmmmm a suburb of
Edinburgh wonder who that could have been …. .
